Munster will up the tempo

MUNSTER coach Alan Gaffney has vowed that his side will show a dramatic improvement in form for their second Heineken Cup outing against Neath-Swansea Ospreys at the Gnoll on Sunday.

Gaffney’s side have been roundly criticised for their performance against Harlequins at Thomond Park on the opening weekend as they struggled to a 15-9 victory.

The Munster boss accepts the validity of some of that criticism but adds that expectation was possibly too high amongst the home support.
